Supposedly you can get it in without removing any FI parts.
You need a deep socket and you can tuck the wire inside the socket. Otherwise, use a cheap socket and cut a slot in it for the wire to stick out. |

Took 5 minutes. |

Since the wire gets tucked inside, there is no way to damage t against the engine tin. |
